A vaccine with high efficiency and safety
Traditionally, vaccine development involves tradeoffs between how quick it they works and safety. The life live-attenuated vaccine made from weakened pathogens tends to make human body immunes fast. However, it they can also be dangerous due to the difficulty of dose control and individual differences.
Inspiringly, scientists from University of Texas invented a vaccine for chikungunya fever which is both efficient and safe. This vaccine made from an insect-infected virus which is not harmful for human but can activate our immune system to produce antibodies for against chikungunya fever. Experiments were done in mice and non-human primates; results were perfect.
I appreciate your reading and look forward to your advice!0 votedDecember 20, 20161Diary Entry for December 20th
Yesterday I went to downtown for meeting to meet my friend. I had not seen her for about half a year. Now she is working in at New Oriental English, which is a famous language training school.
She is a special girl and has a sharp differences with different from me. For example, she always very cool. The cool is from head to toe, inside and out. She went skateboarding to meet me yesterday. There were so many passengers who stared at her! It was so cool!
We ate spaghetti at noon, because she had planned to practice skateboarding with her American friend.
I think we should make some friends who have different characteristics！It's so funny!0 votedDecember 20, 20160Human well-being
There is a critical patient in ICU.
She is an old woman and she is a late-stage tumor patient. I think she can could live for days if she undergowent active treatment; however, it will cost too much money.
The old woman wants to live so she wishes to stay in ICU for days, but her second daughter (crying the most from grief) don’t want to pay money for her mother. The old woman begged her daughter, but her daughter refused and requested discharge from the hospital.
I don’t know how did the old woman feel felt when she was removed from the ICU.
The hospital is the best place to incarnate the human well-being. [I'm not sure what you mean by "incarnate." "Restore" or "manifest" might be better words, but it would depend on your meaning.]Very sad case.

My family and I went to Menorca for our last holiday. The plane takes took off from La Coruña at half past eight in the morning and it landed at Menorca airport at eleven. We haven't been in on the island before and we enjoyed it a lot. We rented a car and traveled around of Menorca. There are beautiful towns such as Ciutadella, Binibeca and Fornells. Our big hotel called Punta Prima Hotel was in the south, it had some swimming pools, a gym, restaurants and a large promenade to walk.Sounds like a nice vacation. The paragraph is well-written; I just added some points to clarify the meaning.

I saw a acupuncturist to have treatment with on my lower back.
Since it was painful, I was screaming during the treatment, as always. [This implies you scream every time you have a treatment.]
After I had the treatment, a the next patient in the waiting room asked me anxiously if it hurt or not.
I'm sure it was her first time to have the having a treatment.
I told her "You don't need to worry."
Here is the principle of how you feel pain during the a treatment.
My Acupuncturist places the needle deeply.
When the needle reaches the stiff part of the muscle, it shrinks quickly.
Since there are nerves inside the muscles, the nerves is tightened tighten and I feel nerve pain.
The pain is like an electronic shock!
But after the treatment, my lower back pain is gone.
I have been suffering from lower back pain for ten years. But I finally found the best treatment for me.0 votedDecember 18, 20162- Préparation pour louer ma maison Je prépare ma maison pour louer. Je souhaite travailler avec Médecins Sans Frontières sur le terrain dans un pays francophone pour une année. J'attends toujours les infos sur ma première mission ave eux. De tout cas, il faut que je prepare ma maison pour un locataire. Je ne peux pas laisser ma maison vide pour une durée indeterminée, ce n'est pas abordable. J'espère que le locataire assura l'entretien de l'immeuble. En échange, je veux offrir un bonne résidence. Alors, je vair faire quelques rénovations avant de louer la maison. D'abord, je dois me débarasser des choses. Je ne veux pas emballer un tas de boîtes pour les mettre dans un garde-meuble. Bien sûr, je garderai toutes mes nécessités--vêtements, matérial de cuisine, literie--mais je trouve qu'il y a trop des choses dans la maison que je n'en ai plus besoin. Alors, maintenant je passe beaucoup de temps à trier mes affaires pour faire les dons de choses qui sont toujours utiles pour des organisations caritatives. Ce que j'apprends de ce processus, c'est que je dépensais trop d'argent depuis longtemps pour les choses que je n'ai pas eu besoin. Pourquoi? J'ai conclu que ma vie jusqu'à present était complètement bourgeoise, matérialiste, et vide. OK, ça c'est un peu exagéré, mais il y a un soupçon de vérité là-dedans. Alors, cette préparation de la maison est aussi un changement de philosophie de vie. Dès aujourd'hui, je n'achèterai rien que n'est pas nécessaire pour survivre, ou que ne me donne pas de joie. On verra comme ça marche...December 18, 201600
Danish question
I have heard that an expression a lot of times and I think it means something like "yes" but I'm not sure. I don't know how to write it, but it sounds like the word "yo" in English. Is there someone who knows what is this word is? i'm talking about ? How to write it and the meaning of it? And also an example of when this "yo" words can be used? Thank you :)
Sorry, I don't know the Danish word you are looking for. Good luck.0 votedDecember 17, 20162- Un changement de carrière Je suis en train de changer ma carrière. Je suis un médecin generaliste et je viens de démissionner de mon boulot dans un hôpital américain. Maintenant j'attends un mission sur terrain avec Médecins Sans Frontières. <<Sur terrain, >> c'est à dire dans un pays ou il y a très peu de ressources, comme matérials medicaux ou formation de personnel dans les milieux de soins de santé. Comme beaucoup de ses pays sont francophone, je recommence à étudier français. Il y a presque trente ans que je ne l'ai pas étudié! Alors, j'ai joint iTalki pour rencontrer plus de gens qui parlent français et qui s'interessent en l'apprentissage linguistique.December 16, 201620
A little story
This story happened when my younger sister and I were kids.
One day, my mom said to me, "You should meet your sister in the Kindergarten and you should go home," but I was in a hurry and I didn't hear the last words.
I came in went to the Kindergarten and met my sister. While we were waiting for our mom we played in the playground near the kindergarten. But mom didn't come to for us. I was worried. We continued play until mom come to for us few hours later. She was angry for at me.
When we came home, mom said "Why didn't you go home? I was waiting you at home."
"We were waiting for you in the playground," said I I said.0 votedDecember 16, 20160The extraction of my wisdom teeth
Some days ago I had two of my wisdom teeth extracted. It was the upper tooth of the left side of my mouth and the down lower tooth of the same side. It was a smooth process, although it was weird feeling the dentist messing with my teeth untill it got loose in order to take it out. I felt no pain though. After the surgery, the dentist prescribed antibiotics, painkillers, anti-inflammatories and gave me an medical certificate which granted me two days on medical leave. The most difficult day was the first one. I had no pain in the wounds (although my jaw hurt a little bit), but it was hard to open the mouth and I had to use a patch of bandage on the wounds due to the bleeding. I had no swelling though. My teeth was already out of the gum, so the surgery was not so traumatic. I should have returned a week after it later in order to take out the stitches, but something unforeseen happened 3 days after: the upper wound stitch was ripped out. I went to the dentist and she said there was no need to stitch it again. A Few days after it that, I got went back to take out the stitch of the lower wound. I'm feeling much better now.
Very well written. I'm glad you feel better.0 votedDecember 15, 20161
